I have googled and checked the forums and although I find similiar errors I can't find any matching mine or a solution to those similiar that may help.

I am STILL trying to get a working Gentoo on my laptop. I wiped the whole thing so this is a brand spanking new install. Followed the AMD64Guide successfully up to the bootloader chapter. want to install Grub2, which incidentally I did succesfuly a couple of months ago, but now gertthe following error. keeps generating die econf.

the latest non 9999 grub2 works for me, i got 9999 to work also but that was over a month ago. yeah im running grub 2.00-r1... try 9999, you can have grub and lilo installed at the same time on the system.... lilo as root to run lilo (grub from the gentoo grub2 quickstart wiki) to run grub

my friend uses syslinux, there are many means to your ends.

Thanks. I was thinking the same thing. I just want to get the d*mn box to boot. I am not partial to any particular bootloader but I have the added complexity of my box being a dual boot with Windows 7 and Gentoo being LUKS on LVM. I had successfully configured with grub on my frst install attempt so ideally that would like to go that route.

When I tried Lilo it immediately started throwing "you must configure for dev/mapper warnings" amongst other things. Seems like the time and research required to use another bootloader might not offset the time I may need to just get grub to work...again.

Also, time is now a concern. Since I wiped the previous Gentoo attempt and grub is gone I can't boot into my Win installation.

What do you think? Will Syslinux or Lilo play nice with my particular setup?

i know lilo will play well with your windows 7, if grub worked once im sure it will work again though i dont have any extra over head requirements for my boot loader. did you try grub 0.97 since 2 is not working for you?
